he shook it. oh, he says he's done it. he has had said that she was gonna go and he said, but i can, i'm one of the da funding went up by i'm going to say, i said, ah ah ah, this is the w news line from berman germany reports its 1st only crime related death countries disease control agency says this was one of 3000 confirmed cases have been you various announcement comes as the united kingdom records. another record number of daily corona, virus cases,

also on the program. while many african countries struggle to get their hands on vaccines authorities in nigeria con, get them into arms. i've just had to fill weigh more than a 1000000 doses. russian president vladimir putin uses his 17 annual national press conference to repeat his demand reassurances that nato will not allow you credit to join. the university of hong kong removes the statute commemorating protest is killed by chinese troops on 2 elements where the statue sculptor tells d w. how he plans to respond. ah, i'm fil gale. welcome to the program. germany has reported its 1st only cron related death details, ass gas, but health are to say it's one of a rapidly growing number of around virus infections. so far,

the country has confirmed more than 3000 cases of the new variance and the number of new american infections jumped by 25 percent in a single day. united kingdom's own conway is even more pronounced u. k. health reported a record 120000 corona virus cases, the last 24 hours. but a new study shows that the new variance may result in 50 to 70 percent fewer hospitalizations than delta. let's look at this with dr. muhammed manette was a virology test at lancaster university in the north of england, a welcome to d w doctor. how reliable is this data on mac on given that it's only been around 70 been identified for a few weeks? i think so far we own have a modeling data, and these are one of the few studies that we have information from real life, which means the people who have been infected with me, crohn they've been compared with what has been the situation with the delta barrier

and based on that, it was concluded that the solidity of the disease is very low, and particularly for the hospitalized ation and for the emergency. but there are certainly copy it in this that data collection is that most of the data being collected from people who are very young, 40 years old because that is norman crime has been pretty prevalent. and also, there is no cool hard to kinda vaccinate people because most of the time the micron has been vaccinated or previously exposed people. but all in all, the overall trend is that it is miter compared to the delta variant. miles is an interesting word. i wonder if you might worry that this news might actually cause people to take it less seriously. i think that is my major worry out of this data because this data is only, as i said from the younger population from vaccinated people. but we don't really know what all me call would do in people who are on a vaccinations or in the one or every group or even in children. because literally

we don't have that information at the moment. so therefore, but even if it is proven to be mitre, it might or doesn't mean it's a nerd, it would still be considered as a fatal disease. people who would be infected with having known or unknown vulnerability. there would be that different outcome and also have the person responsible very differently. so may not be the same situation with everybody. so i think moving forward, we have to be very cautious in reducing the transmission of this on the chrome. ok, stay with us please. dr. recent widen, the discussion that the world health organization has argued against rich countries offering 3rd or even 4th shots, while much of the world's population has yet to get their 1st, his director general ted ross ad. how to gabrielle is us blanket wooster programs are likely to prolong the pandemic rather than ending it by diverting supply to countries to that already have high levels of fascination coverage, giving the virus more opportunity to spread and mitigate. it's

important to remember that the vast majority of hospitalized ations and as are in and vaccinated people not on boosted people. so back to dr. manila dr. ammonia, sorry, dr. where are you on boosters? i. i completely agree with ted rules, and i think we cannot emphasize enough that how important it is to equally distribute the vaccine. because until we don't really immunize people back in that country where the possibility of this variant is to mutate more and more, we can really say that we have a good handle on pandemic boosters. are certainly critical to put a level of neutralizing antibody very high. but compared to people who have not got even to fast, those than he doesn't make any relevance, because that is where we are living in that's been done. we have to think about

a global scale as a continent or at a new country level to certainly was very important. but at the same time, people who are at the frontline had worker or article or able they need to be given . those is at the same time right now as people around the world to head into holidays at this time of year. what's your advice on how best to keep safe and stay healthy? while we have seen so far, is that all mc one is very good in spreading within the community. even people who are vaccinated to people who are apparently considered healthy or have recovered from previous infection. which means that we have to be extremely cautious and cautious. not having an epic testing and if you're not active than your go and meet your, your family, keep your circle low, keep your nutrition very high and it possible keep your rooms when connected. i thanks so much for joining us for alicia. well, thanks for joining us. dr. hobbit manip from lancaster university. thanks for having me. well, the spread of the army con variance has governments around the world scrambling to

vaccinate as many people as possible. but in many, mostly poor countries, there is a shortage of doses, but sometimes a problems are not because of a lack of vaccine authorities in nigeria have just had to throw away more than a 1000000 doses. this is not just any waste. these boxes contain out of date, vaccine biles that could have fully immunized, over half a 1000000 people. instead, they ended up in a landfill in nigeria as capital, a boucher, their destruction comes weeks after health authority, said some coven, 19 doses donated by wealthy countries, were close to the end of their shelf life. even as he accepted his vaccines. we're cognizant of the fact that there are lots of other challenges that we have to overcome in order to get this vaccines to the arms of nigeria. so actually for example, a single night, judith. so actually, for example,

some of these vaccines came in with her short life of about 4 weeks. nigeria has been experiencing a spike in infections, but vaccination is gathering pace in africa's most populous country. officials have set a target of fully vaccinating 55000000 of the over 200000000 citizens before february of next year. and in order to do that, trust in the vaccination campaign is key. we are one of the few. it does these in africa that test of docs in before use. i told them as we would does own boxes before we use so far less than 4 percent of nigeria as adult population has been fully vaccinated. and the only way to avoid a repeat of these images, both here in nigeria and elsewhere in the world is to get jobs in arms as quickly as possible. or in the united states minneapolis and in the city of minneapolis,

separatists is good at right now. we're told war the ukrainian government is preparing another military operation against a separate us and warning us beforehand is the do not get involved. do not defend those people. who are you. he also blasted nato. did you say in the military alliance was forcing his hand by encroaching on russia's borders which you're much look philip meridian, yet no one knew we were not one inch to the east is what we were told in the 19 ninety's. and what happened? we were duped. we were brazenly duped. lea brought the mag dollar a month. there were 5 waves of nato expansion or should in another. you have to understand. it's not us who are threatening them. will graham wish to live little that we didn't come to the borders of the u. s. or the u. k. america you came to us cannot previously met with talks as when russia and the u. s. plan for early next year. russia said the ball is now in washington's court, or to help us understand this or better that's bringing in that cadre leak who's

a senior policy fellow at the european council on foreign relations. welcome to the w. does president protein really believe the west is threatening russia? i think he understands that there are no evil intentions this of a russia. but i think his theories, but russia is who will the way ukraine is a row with the inc. and while ukraine might not become nato member, western military health will actually still be available to a crane. and that is, of course, something that defense planner is in russia who pay attention. so hence the escalation and, and hence he has made but the nice to and now when president by them has also put in to discuss 3 things. he has dramatically widened the agenda to include everything, his bitter about including nathan enlargement and all the things he mentioned today

. ok, so the, the troops on the board with ukraine are essentially a bargaining chip if he doesn't. so does that mean that you really don't expect him to invade ukraine? i to not, but many other experts to so actually we are all guessing. and none of us knows what will happen military experts will tell you about the build up, be serious. it is much more profound than what we saw when. ready the spring gets over, so done much more covert lee, myself. i think it's politically with been math. nice also in terms of domestic politics, but the trophies, but none of us really knows we own guessing. well, let's talk about domestic politics because it is ukraine apprised that russians would allow their sons and husbands to shed blood for no, i don't think so. it to, of all the, the, a crane with definitely not be

a popular thing for the russian society. and i think the kremlin ought to know, but they are conducting growing an opinion bottles, and they keep a keen eye on public opinion. and all the crane cannot also be made popular. i mean, crimea was popular, but that was a bloodless, quick, swift take off a piece of land that has immense emotional value for many in russia, the rest of phil crane has known for his qualities. and that is one that one aspect that makes me think that attack is not so likely. no authorities in hong kong have removed a statue commemorating people who died in the chairman square protests of 1989, a sculptor who created the priest, described it as a sad dave the democracy movement, coming weeks after several prominent activists were prosecuted for taking part in a vigil to embark the massacre. ah, it was known as a pillar of shame. uncertain on the compass of hong kong university for over 2

decades. but this chilling memorial to those who died in t elements square has been removed by the authorities. as many as 10000 people were killed in the bloody crack down on democracy protests on june. 4th 1989. it's an event that has been white from china's history on the mainland and is beijing discards the symbol of remembrance? many think hong kong is also being forced to raise a dark chapters, a chinese history. i do think people we expect this thing we had an in the university so caught with the most freedom of expression or freedom of speech. and they tried to become the 1st one to remove every history or parts of history inside

campus. the memorials designer was clear about what he thinks it means fall democracy. this is a symbol of the democracy movement. and hong kong as a symbol of pilots is what happened inside china and cinnamon. so, and i think this is the last man standing nearly so. so this is a sad day for me and for democracy in hunger. the removal changes days after hong comes 1st election since the introduction of a sweeping national security law. $89.00 out of 90 seats were won by pro establishment candidates in a system where only those loyal to beijing are permitted to run. the university said that not removing the statue would pose legal risk, but is an act many simply view as the latest moved by beijing to silence descent

and, and the freedom so long enjoyed by those in hong kong or brazil has made progress in eradicating hunger over recent decades for the last 2 years, have seen an increase the number of people who don't have enough to eat welfare programs as nearly 20000000 brazilians and our facing food insecurity at christmas . many rely on donations to put food on the table. artist celia mer says heads to us, villa was only 100 donated food packages on hand to support some of the poorest through the christmas days ahead. did our mothers formulas for many families are out of work. i've been and collect paper and cans for cash, but that is not often enough to siding who receives what it is difficult, a in real alone this aid organizations, christmas without hunger campaign, will be distributing over 300 tons of donated food. and the demand is on the rise

says daniel sosa, prepared to live next homeschool book of book we as a society most held by the see what there must also be the political will to end hunger by. otherwise, people will have to donate more and more without properly solving the problem. well, the cover page might say, has a real problem with that in 2014 brazil was on track to beat hunger thanks to an ambitious social policy. the country was removed from the un global hunger report, but in 2016, the right wing conservative government cut funding. then the pandemic came and valeria lost her job. although the guy veto corona, i had a job, a salary, but not any more. a suspicion as a defendant. so since then, more than 20000000 brazilians suffer from hunger,

doubled the amount since 2018 malaria has not been able to buy me here for weeks. so look here, this is all i have. she does not receive governmental support, according to critics, state aid is insufficient and was only increased before the elections in order. the windows things are hardly any better for valerie as neighbor. what is the shackle? i'll show you that itself. i received all of this as a donation. that's all we have. oh, i said this is eric. i cannot afford to buy yogurt for her children. will she have food for christmas? i will say i have no idea it will have anything to eat unless someone donates food . again, dale, my face in brazil is one of the world's largest food exporters, but millions in the country don't know where they'll be getting their next meal.

daniel so's us as the government is miss prioritizing november will seem to double the so 90 percent of the agricultural products and brazil are soybeans and corn hole is official no lot. but our staple crops, fish like rice and beans, but the account for only 10 percent of the acreage, the pool diarrhea article target. it's also a political decision though to school. you know, mac is thought to be political, so they continue on trying at least to relieve hunger a little at christmas. as the wild waters of madagascar and an even wilder story, dallas police minister who was sent as part of a rescued team, was forced to save himself after his helicopter crashed into the sea. serge sheila and another passengers survived the impact, but the really reckless part was still to come. they swam for 12 hours to safety.

fishermen who sit out before dawn spotted some one on the water. exhausted and still in his wet uniform, madagascar, policemen, esther recorded the message of them didn't. i'm alive and wealth in 24 hours. i can be back at work and i'm not injured. but very cold america. i'm thankful to the people of mumble for saving my life and taking care of me. it's running and say yes . the fisherman brought the 57 year old, safely back to shore. after he spent 12 hours at sea, another survivor, an air force mechanic managed to swim the entire way to the beach. the body of one other man and the helicopter has been recovered. but the pilot remains missing and is presumed dead. authority say the cause of the helicopter crash has yet to be established. the minister says something suddenly destabilize the helicopter, potentially causing it to go down and eat and me so name that he didn't leave use

of my omission was over. we saw the accident and we were about to go home. but like all accidents, something unexpected happened after an hour helicopter may have been caught in a gust of wind or something and fell classics. the helicopter was one of 2, taking part in a search and rescue operation. after a small cargo ship sank on monday, an official said the ship was overloaded from carrying too many people. in football, the english premier league has postponed 2 more matches because of our briggs of cobra. 19 livable versus leads and will, hampton against. watford will not take place on boxing day as shed your premier league as nervous boats. 12 games because of kobe. in the last 2 weeks was rejected breaking off the season over the holidays. so an artist unsung and

so kieffer has devoted much of his work to the atrocities committed by the nazis during world war 2. and a new exhibition of large scale works in paris. he focuses on the german language poet, wholeseller, and his suffering during the holocaust lines of verse, scribbled in chalk on paintings next to a bunker everywhere. the dedication to paul salon, the poet who used verse to process his memories of the holocaust, is the artist and some key fuzz personal hero. oversized work stand like proud panels in the sparsely illuminated space. then obviously the, the i thought i could write a poem up on the slate up there. go, but i think the skies like a big slate. i don't think most of all i wanted the audience to concentrate and say line, not the painter to yes. bargain them that the newton, mr. that in the marla, oh,

the pieces are dark but also shed light on war persecution and death. the elements include straw textiles and stones national socialism and the importance of never forgetting. these are reoccurring themes for kieffer. the show is a wake up call for europe. you mustn't of laughter. be careful because what's in our past or what we think is in our past, it could very easily happen again. can we to so for da, side common ground rather than confrontation, learning from german history. how does that play out in france? so paul girl says it grabs you. the exhibition is very, very intense new or so the large scale pieces, the venue, which is really magical and compliments everything very well. i was very moved about his eval. it works by an artist who lives in france, but his german heal, it shows the strength of the bond between the 2 countries. this was the jump that's all included in that storm shish d. a. i bought a book by the poet. it would have been even more moving if the verse written on the

paintings had been translated, the wrongful visitors even get a glimpse of kieffer studio and his materials, ranging from shards to ash. the paintings are on wheels easily movable from one place to the next. everything is fluid, including the artists creative process in a sequence. it, i'm always frantic because my pictures are works in progress. i'm constantly reworking them. but apart from that, i'm generally cheerful angle scenarios to comment. works in progress, they may be, but this exhibition makes a lasting impression. watching d w. news life from bud and he is remind of our top story of the south. germany has reported his 1st own recon related death and confirmed more than 3000 cases of the new varied as a return infection searched by more than 25 percent in
